Great fortune
手把太陽輝
東君発旧枝
稼苗方欲秀
猶更上雲岐
In English
- You grasp the brilliance of the sun in your hand
- the lord of spring opens buds on old boughs
- the planted grain is about to come into ear
- and still you climb higher on the cloudy path
- Meaning
- It opens bright and immediate, with the sun held in your hand, and closes on slow growth, seedlings coming into ear and climbing toward the clouds. Great fortune like this is less a finish line than a push to aim one step higher.
- What to do today
- Write down the next level up from a goal that already feels within reach.
- A word from the capybara
- If the climb goes above the clouds, it helps to spot a resting place on the way.
